Ghost Ranch

Well, it’s been a long time since I last posted my progress on the painting I have been working on. Why is it so hard to find the time to get to my easel? So many things seem to get in the way of my painting. Tax time doesn’t help! Anyhow, I finished this painting last week and have been having a little difficulty getting a good image of it. So here is the final photo of this painting. I can now get on to the next painting. The new canvas is already on my easel.

Sketch for my new painting

I usually do a sketch before I paint a painting. This helps me to figure out the rhythm and the values. Plus it helps me to get back into the mood that I want to express.

Inspiration for new painting

I was at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico when I saw this scene. I had to paint it. Anyhow, I thought it might be fun to have you join me in the process of bringing this painting to life. I will post my process and progress over the next week or so as I go through the stages to complete this painting. I hope you enjoy following it to completion.
